Am
Get the rocks in the box
C C/Em
Get the water right down to your socks
Em Am
This bulkhead's built of fallen brethren bones
Am
We all do what we can
C C/Em
We endure our fellow man
Em Am
And we sing our songs to the headframes' creaks and moans
F
And it's one two three
C/G
On the wrong side of the lee
G
What were you meant for?
Am
What were you meant for?
F
And it's seven eight nine
C/G
You get your shuffle back in line
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am (Intro Riff)
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
Am
And you won't make a dime
C C/Em
On this gray Granite Mountain Mine
Em Am
Of dirt you're made and to dirt you will return
Am
So while we're living here
C C/Em
Let's get this little one thing clear
Em Am
There's plenty of men to die; you don't jump your turn
F
And it's one two three
C/G
On the wrong side of the lee
G
What were you meant for?
Am
What were you meant for?
F
And it's seven eight nine
C/G
You get your shuffle back in line
G Am
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
G Am (Intro Riff)
And if you ever make it to ten you won't make it again
(Instrumental)
